4. Specialty and Innovative Products IRPC highly values continuous research and development through self-development to cater to customers’ diverse requirements in the fast-changing world of business. The company aims to meet customers’ every need and expectation with eco-friendly touch. • Green ABS: is an innovative plastic pellet product conceived from IRPC’s social responsibility and environmental stewardship. The company is the world’s first producer of green ABS, derived from natural rubber. Currently, the company substitutes natural rubber for 10-40 per cent of synthetic rubber. This also contributes to an increase in domestic rubber prices. • Paralene: is a bio-based polystyrene plastic consisting of 20% natural materials to reduce the use of petroleumbased materials in the production process. It is FDA tested and can be recycled like regular polystyrene plastics. • Chlorine Resistance Pipe: is made from plastic pellets that can withstand the corrosiveness of chlorine. The pipe is ideal as high-pressure drinking water conduits and has a longer lifespan than regular pipes. This helps lower maintenance costs and ensures that drinking water is free of contaminants. • Medical-grade Polypropylene Random Co-polymer: is transparent PP developed specially for medical equipment and related applications. It has been certified to various international standards, such as FDA US21 CFR 177.1520 of the United States as well as EU No. 10/2011 and European Pharmacopeia 3.1.6 and USP Class VI of the European Union. • Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE): is an opaque white powder with as much as 10 times the molecular density than other PE varieties. It can be subject to a range of treatments, such as compression, RAM extrusion, and gel spinning. Thanks to superior properties to those of iron joints and gears, UHMW-PE is suitable for a range of applications that require toughness, strength, and resistance to abrasion and chemical erosion. • Anti–dripping Additive prevents polymer products from dripping when caught on fire. Made with nanotechnology, IRPC’s anti-dripping additive disperses well in polymers and can be stored at room temperature, which lowers storage and transportation costs. This agent can be added to a variety of polymers that need to meet the UL-94(V.0) flame retardancy standard. IRPC has also used this anti-dripping additive to improve its flame retardant ABS. • Pim-L and Pim-AL: are special-grade acetylene black products that IRPC has developed in collaboration with NSTDA specifically for use as a carbon conductive additive in lithium-ion batteries. • Post-consumer Recycled compound: is made with used plastics that have been modified and thus have properties comparable to virgin plastic pellets. Available in PP and PS, this type of compound can help solve plastic waste problems and reduce environmental impact.
